Yes, red fascists are fascists. China Russia and North Korea are fascist states, and their supporters and sympathizers are fascists.

My one other media type is “the cloud”.

I use hard drives, I can’t imagine trying to put something on a disk or something.

One thing I do recommend, I keep one unencrypted hard drive copy in the safest most hidden part of my house. This is in case encryption software disappears, or I just forget my encryption keys or something.

Other than that, one encrypted copy of files in a thumb drive in my wallet (selected files, not everything). One in my car. One in my firesafe. Then daily cloud backup.

I’m currently not of the mindset that the left and the right can continue to have democratic respect for each other. We are at war. Power no longer is not about legitimacy, but about victory. Norms and rule of law are clearly over. An insurrectionist isn’t even constitutionally allowed to be president. Nothing is sacred.

So it’s not really about if they have the power or not, we need to be focused on getting power back and preventing mass death and slavery of the working class. And we won’t get that power back via the system as it exists, because it’s been captured.

IME a language is as good as its package manager and libraries, and cargo is great.

Go routines are certainly special and hard to match, but rust has all the normal abstractions of a language like C, just with a borrow checker so you can avoid memory leaks, write after read, etc.

I don't know but I don't think rust has that problem. In fact I've always thought its data ownership paradigm is literally the most optimal approach to concurrency and parallelism. I really love using rayon in rust for instance.

I think once you get into rust you just have a hard time going back, and it doesn't feel "hard" anymore. I can practically rust as easily as I can python for scripting and for API servers.

Rust really only gets hard when doing library development IMO. That's when you need lifetimes and well chosen types. But that's also why Rust libraries are superb.

I was under the impression that’s just because of the relative surface area of the ocean vs arable land

lol that sounds great. Is it a comedy?

I think you have to cut them down and bury them (or at least don’t burn them) for the carbon to “go away”.

That’s how it got underground to begin with.

Still until we actually 100% switch everything we could power off solar and wind to solar and wind, active carbon capture doesn’t make sense, sense we could use that clean energy for direct purposes instead of cleanup. I’m not sure we will ever have “excess energy” like that, we will always rather use it for something other than cleaning up our mess, like AI.

I just literally can’t imagine a machine that is both cheaper and easier to deploy than the green goo we call life. Plant a tree. It’ll even spread itself. They look pretty.
